Questions to ask · Love · for your Grandparents

What is your favourite memory of the two of you?

Why this question matters

Love stories are the ones families treasure most, and the ones most often left untold. Asking directly shows them that you want the real version, not just the short one.

Ask it on a quiet afternoon, give time for the answer, and write down the small details. That is where the story lives.

  1. What was the hardest time you went through together, and how did you get through it?
  2. What makes a marriage last, in your experience?
  3. How did you meet Grandpa? What did you notice first?
  4. When did you know he was the one?
  5. How did he propose, or how did you decide to spend your lives together?
